ASHA CORNELIA CLUER (SHE/HER)

Actor | Musician | Writer | Maker | Educator

I am a multi-disciplinary artist and educator from Boorloo (Perth). I trained at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in the UK (MA Acting) where I was based for a decade working predominantly as an actor-musician for West End, UK No.1 touring and independent theatre shows.

As an actor-musician, I have worked for award-winning companies and venues such as the Royal Court, Rose Theatre Bankside, Edinburgh Festival Theatre, the Bristol Old Vic Theatre, Certain Dark Things, and Reading Rep Theatre. I work as musical director, often times as an onstage MD working with multi-instrumentalists and new composition.

I have a BA (Political Science & International Relations) from the University of Western Australia and Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile which I often put to use in the creation of theatre, music, film, writing and movement. I lead and collaborate on projects which are often bilingual, have a global focus, and advocate for cross cultural exchange.

I create work in a variety of contexts including programs that facilitate curriculum based arts education, immersive shows that brighten the corporate space, and pieces that exist just for arts' sake!

I am now living on Whadjuk boodja working as an actor, artist and educator for companies such as the Blue Room Theatre, Fremantle Theatre Company and WA Youth Theatre Company.

The goal? Make great art for Western Australia.

WHAT THEY SAY

“Asha Cluer as Olivia deliciously turns poised disdain for Orsino into a giggling girlish crush for Cersario…”

- Sarah McNeill | Post Newspapers 2023



”The first of the plays was Flamenco Vampires & Outlaw Space Cowboys, written by Asha Corenelia Cluer. This was a wild ride of a science fantasy…I loved the imaginativeness of this work.”

- Fiona Anderson | Weekend Notes 2021

“All three actors play remarkably well off of each other, and the palpable chemistry between them makes for an electric atmosphere.”

- Tatum Stafford | Theatre Travels 2023

“Cluer does a fine job as the initially awkward and later distressed Helena... Her Titania is majestic and playful.”

- Selwyn Knight | The Reviews Hub 2019

“it’s given me more confidence and motivated me to work harder. I’m very grateful for your classes they really helped me grow my confiedence and believe in myself.”

The strong elements of physical theatre and ensemble work were brilliantly effective in the subject matter, with cast members effortlessly levitating and contorting their bodies to convey plot points.

The highly talented cast of five prove themselves to be multitalented: brilliant singers, dancers, puppeteers, musicians and – in a goofy, goonish way – comedic performers...the indomitable Madam Dragon (played with panache by the fantastic Asha Cornelia Cluer).
